   Greetings – I am new to WordPress. I created a short registration form that submits to an email address (I am using Go Daddy hosting and their email script webformmailer.php). The form submits properly, but I can’t get the Javascript validation to work. Below is the code. Any troubleshooting help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

   This is the file validate.js – I uploaded it to the root directory of my hosting account.

   function verify() {
   var themessage = "You are required to complete the following fields: ";
   if (document.form.MemberFirstName.value=="") {
   themessage = themessage + " - First Name";
   }
   if (document.form.MemberLastName.value=="") {
   themessage = themessage + " - Last Name";
   }
   if (document.form.Email.value=="") {
   themessage = themessage + " - E-mail";
   }
   //alert if fields are empty and cancel form submit
   if (themessage == "You are required to complete the following fields: ") {
   document.form.submit();
   }
   else {
   alert(themessage);
   return false;
   }
   }

   This is the html file on the web site.

   <script type="text/javascript" scr="/validate.js"></script>
   <script type="text/javascript">
   <!--verify();
   //--></script>

   <form action="/webformmailer.php" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" method="post" >

   First Name: <input name="MemberFirstName" size="40" type="text" />

   Last Name: <input name="MemberLastName" size="40" type="text" />

   Email Address: <input name="Email" size="50" type="text" />

   <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit Contest Entry" onclick="verify();"/>

   </form>
